Should we just send this Twitter thread to NSF?

Hahah- I am actually on the NSF SBE Advisory Council, and have tried to advocate for this idea (as have others), so stay tuned! But I think the type of study we are describing may exceed the resources of NSF alone :(

Yeah. I agree it's expensive but we're muddling through one of the most important questions facing us without the kind of data that we mostly know how to get. They keep holding these hearings with tech CEOs instead of funding the research and I keep screaming into the void....

An interesting question is whether such a measure could receive bipartisan support- dem. concerns about radicalization for profit and rep. concerns about censorship could *hypothetically* both be adjudicated with such data

Is there a way to make this data collection effort an attractive news story? So many talented journalists are in this space already and appreciate the need for such data (e.g.

When I talked to Clegg this week I pushed him on this exact point — making more data available to folks like yourselves. He says Facebook is going to. We’ll see!

We need independent researcher access, but clearly not the Cambridge Analytica model (bad all around). I've suggested a clean room on site: full access but only printers to get charts/stats out to publish with. Data doesn't leave the company but the independent analysis does.

Agreed. I'd be interested to know if such a model would obviate the need for the differential privacy methods that seemed to make Social Science One so difficult (from afar, at least).
@SolomonMg@kinggary@persily might have insight on this, I imagine.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes
Yeah. I got pandemic-interrupted but this maybe something we can take up at some near future? Honestly, the companies need help, too. Their risk is bad publicity, but I think that doesn't really harm them that much (and they get it anyway) and clarity would help us all.

Count me in. And I think you are right that we would find a lot of interest from inside companies too. And though NSF doesn't accept Twitter thread grant submissions, I wonder if Facebook (or at least Twitter ;) might?

A workshop that will outline what's needed to measure this -- as a scientific study or monitoring for regulation or something else -- would be something I'd be happy to be in...
